European Solidarity Corps Participation Awards

The European Solidarity Corps Participation Awards recognize volunteers supporting European Solidarity Corps projects. Ten winners receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Brussels to participate in a programme from 23 to 27 September 2026. Open to European Solidarity Corps volunteers aged 18 to 30, with non-European participants allowed under applicable travel rules.

All expenses covered for travel to Brussels, accommodation and associated costs for the 5-day programme.

You must be a European Solidarity Corps volunteer, aged 18 to 30. Non-European participants can join, but travel will follow programme travel rules and eligibility conditions.

Create a 1-minute vertical video about your volunteering experience, upload to YouTube Shorts, make it public, and tag the European Youth Card Association channel; include the competition link in the description.
